The portability factor is fantastic. But the processor kinda scares me: Intel® Pentium® M Processor Ultra Low Voltage 733 (1.10 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache) Would it be able to handle Reaktor, Live, Cubase, FlStudio 5 that well? Im thinking about picking up a 12 inch powerbook or one of these little sonys. Thoughts? |

The M (centrino) processors are oodles more efficient than the P4s from what I've heard. They do more than P4s per clock cycle - apparently the P4s waste cycles sitting there holding their dicks. M series Spozed to be very good for Reaktor. Make sure the bus speed is nice and fast. The only thing to watch out for is make sure there's a bios setting you can check to run the processor at full clock speed constantly - otherwise it will keep switching to idle mode to save power. I think most of the M based laptops have this. Obviously if you have it plugged in and you're sitting down making music you don't want it switching to low power mode randomly and adding glitches. I mean unintentional glitches. :D |

Oh wqhoa whoa whoa - 1.10 gHz? That's a bit on the slow side. I'd get something a little more kickass than that - 2gHz or up. |

The screens are tiny...If there is one thing you need when running music apps it is screen space. At least that is what I think. |

No i totally agree. I usually have a bunch of things running at once and i like to view it all. |

Yeah I've concluded that these vaios are a little underpowered. I want a laptop that can easily be whipped out and played with. I'm kinda thinking powerbook 12 inch at the moment |

if its centrino then the Ghz processor speed is always slower, but yet in 'real world tests it works better then a P4 2.8 Ghz' or so i heard. |

with something that small you can't have a processor that produces too much heat. I think that's why they've only been able to go for 1.1GHz. Mobility over speed |

yeah but Pentium M works as fast as new processors in laptops. |

i have a 1.7 pentium m.. very good. 1.1 is not much these days. |

My advice is.... Get the home computer: Mac G5... You won't have ANY problem with it what so ever..... It's got it ALL |

i've got the new iMac G5 20", best computer i've ever owned... i've owned mac computers for years, still waiting for one to crash or get a virus :) |

I have a Dell Laptop: 12" screen 1.60Ghz 512 Ram 30 gig HD looks like the Viao T series for (drumroll)... $850 |

Pentium M is an awesome processor. Very power efficient and quick. It's based on the PIII architecture which was fantastic. The new dual core pentium chips will be based on the M processors. Intel themselves have admitted that hte P4 just wasn't a good processor. It's just clockspeed that has kept it where it is but now that's really hit a barrier with their current hear output. pantalaimon: I'm getting the old work G3 :D |

I just got back from the mall, checking the sony store so I could get my hands on the T series. Its fucking smaller in person than I had envisioned. Looks amazing but... After leaving, I knew I was going powerbook instead :) |

my laptop has a pentium M at 1.4ghz, whats the P4 clock speed equivelant? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, I have a 22" monitor and I'm looking at getting a second one and have dual video out to fit all my stuff on the screen(s) at once... |

I think they are actually just normal laptops but really quite far away. |
